"I am pregnant and struggling with insomnia. Is there anything safe that I can take while pregnant?"

It is important to establish a good sleep routine to help with insomnia during pregnancy. Developing a pre-sleep relaxation routine that does not involve screens, such as listening to music, reading, knitting, or meditating, can be helpful. If you are unable to fall asleep after 30-45 minutes of trying, consider getting up and doing a calming activity before trying to sleep again. Avoiding caffeine, dark liquor, sugar, and chocolate in the evening can also help. If these methods do not work, it is best to consult a doctor for advice on safe medication options during pregnancy.
